Description: With their project, Building Cross Cultural Capacity in the Crown of the Continent, Kimberly Paul and Laura Caplins are working to increase the “cross cultural capacity” of indigenous and non-indigenous groups to collaborate on climate adaptation in the Crown of the Continent. In order to achieve this purpose, the objectives of this project are to identify

the necessary protocols for collaboration between the Blackfeet Nation and government and non-government agencies active in the CoC, and

to the priorities of the Blackfeet Nation in climate change adaptation.

This presentation will discuss the emerging themes on these two topics.
